Chelsea to win Giroud to score anytime. Remember a few years ago I was in Hythe when we were playing Chelsea. Heard two huge roars across the water, checked my phone each time, and found we'd scored two. Went in a few shops, checked the phone again and we were 3-2 down.

That was the game where Mike Dean failed to spot a two footed tackle by Alonso on Shane Long right in front of him. Alonso crossed for 2 of the 3 Chelsea goals . Alonso was subsequently banned for 3 games , which didn't help us much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefizzy14 Posted 20 February, 2021 Share Posted 20 February, 2021 (edited) Hoping we can get back to winning ways today. Will be interesting to see if Ralph changes formation or we stick to our preferred 4-2-2-2 formation. Im going for a 2-1 win to us - Ings and Adams to score COYR Edited 20 February, 2021 by davefizzy14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamplemousse Posted 20 February, 2021 Share Posted 20 February, 2021 Hopefully a full week to prepare will help us massively. If we can defend as well as we did against Liverpool, we have a chance. Got to believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He drops deep and links play which helps the midfield. We'll need that without Armstrong, and especially if we're playing 3 at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_Tony Posted 20 February, 2021 Share Posted 20 February, 2021 Feel we may just get a bit of luck today. Chelsea are due to drop some points and we are certainly due some. Need a spark from Minamino or Ings and a bit of last ditch, back to the walls defending that we have seen on previous occasions against some of the bigger teams.

egg Posted 20 February, 2021 Share Posted 20 February, 2021 (edited) On reflection I think it will be a 3 at the back. Ralph hinted at a change of shape in the embargoed section of his pre-match press conference on Thursday. "If you have no players in one position, then it is always an option to think about a change of shape. This is not something that is too difficult to change quickly, especially when you have had a week to prepare.” – Ralph Hasenhuttl Edited 20 February, 2021 by egg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
